Yum, Spongecake!

“Someone said I had no imagination when I bake… what do you think?”

Your Scout Elf has been busy in the kitchen, but this time, they’ve taken the phrase “sponge cake” a little too literally!


This funny Elf idea is quick to set up, guaranteed to make the family giggle, and perfect for anyone who loves a cheeky Christmas bake-off moment.

Materials:

  • A clean household sponge (unused)
  • Confectionery sprinkles (or hundreds and thousands)
  • A plate or wooden board
  • Printer and paper
  • Printable sign

Instructions:

  1. Find the sponge: Your Scout Elf will “borrow” a clean kitchen sponge and place it carefully on a plate or small wooden board, ready to serve up their masterpiece.
  2. Add the sprinkles: They’ll top the “cake” with colourful sprinkles to make it look extra tempting (but not for eating!).
  3. Print the sign: Using the printable provided, your elf will cut out the sign that says something like “Yum, Spongecake!” and set it next to their creation.
  4. Take their seat: Finally, your Scout Elf will sit back proudly beside their work, waiting to see if anyone dares take a bite of their “bake”!
